16 HBE
also... I am looking for a lung epithelial cell line that expresses both M3/M2 and b2 receptors... in BEAS-2B cells, we don't get good M3 responses. Could you provide me with more info. on the 16 HBE line you use? Do you know if this expresses muscarinic and beta-adrenergic receptors? Please reply to my jaiyar@theravance.com address, as I am returning to USA today and won't have access to the ERS messages. Thanks again! Jay

request for copy of poster
Dear Mirella, I read your poster (P3566) on expression of muscarinic receptors in lung firbroblasts and sputum cells, with great interest. I would greatly appreciate your sending me a copy of your poster as well a this e-communication poster to my email: jaiyar@theravance.com I was interested to know the source of muscarinic antibodies you use for immunostaining, especially M3 and M2. Thanks, Jayashree Aiyar, Ph.D.
